A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.

We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Iceland is probably fine with it.

And maybe Ireland? Or it'll kick off The Troubles again

You gotta make space for Liechtenstein somehow.

Europe colonized by Europe

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I didn't move from Poland to Denmark for Poland to follow me here.

(In honesty, I'm kidding, I miss my country very much)

I suggest relocating the Greeks to Iceland and the Icelanders to Greece.

Lol, I see Crete is not part of Greece or even Europe anymore

They drifted so far south that's its now part of Egypt(?)

Why is Romania almost twice the size of all the other countries?

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I am now Belgian... As a Norwegian we ended up with the northern wastelans. But at least Sweden really got fucked. Now if Denmark got just as fucked I could get behind this

If Europeans drew European borders

[–] whome@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

Will I have to move according to my nationality or change my nationality?

I love how Ireland is Ireland.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 7 points 1 day ago

It worked for the USA map, this one not so much

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You guys need to click the link and read the names of the countries in detail.

I don't even know exactly why the placement is so funny. Germany. Poland. It's a good joke even without the details, but with the details it is truly wonderful.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you click the story title, you'll see a higher-res version of the same map as you see in the image. At least, that's how it is for me.
